    For the same reason, when rack-mounting it is preferable to avoid locating the unit adjacent to signal processing equipment. It should be noted that if a complete rack containing a CPS250/CPS275 unit is to be operated from a different mains supply level, then the unit should be withdrawn from the rack in order to reselect the mains voltage setting, at the same time as resetting any other equipment.

    Refer to your Soundcraft dealer for a suitable case. Where the CPS250/CPS275 is enclosed in a touring case, provision must be made for adequate ventilation to the rear of the unit to ensure unrestricted supply of air for the cooling fan.

    PSU Linking (CPS275 Only) The output voltages from the CPS275 are fed via diodes as shown in the adjacent diagram. This allows a standby CPS275 to automatically takeover in the event of a power rail failing. When a spare CPS275 is ordered it comes with a 1metre linking cable.

  • Page 18: Circuit Description

    Circuit Description The CPS250 and CPS275 power supplies provide +/-17V at 4 Amps and 5.25 Amps respectively. Both give +5V at 1 Amp, and +48V at 0.3 Amp. The PCB is SC3803. THE +/- 17V RAILS. This consists of two identical +17V supplies connected together to give +/-17V.
  • Page 19 The constant-current protection system works in the standard way; when an attempt is made to draw excessive current, the output voltage is reduced so that no more than a fixed maximum can be drawn. However, the high current capability of this PSU means that long-term constant-current protection alone is not practical as the dissipation in the pass devices is too high for the cooling system to deal with, and in time they will overheat.
  • Page 20 The +5V Supply. Max current rating 1.0 Amps. This supply is primarily intended for powering console internal computers; it also powers the cooling fan. The AC input is fused by F4 and fullwave rectified by D9-12, with C36 as the reservoir capacitor.
  • Page 21: Servicing

    Servicing SAFETY. These safety notes are directed to those testing and repairing this power supply. Legal requirements mean that we must not encourage untrained personnel to take the lid off. Servicing should only be carried out by a competent service engineer. This supply contains mains voltages on the voltage select PCB, the mains switch, etc, and the usual precautions must be taken.
  • Page 22 The correct high efficiency mounting pad must be used, and this should be replaced if it appears to be damaged (see the Parts Lists for the relevant Soundcraft Part Numbers). When refixing or replacing the device, it is important to screw the device down before resoldering the pins to avoid stressing the pads on the circuit board.
  • Page 23 Reassembly is simply a reverse of the procedure above. Particular care should be taken when fixing the regulators, ensuring that the pins are not bent or the circuit board pads strained when the fixing screws are tightened. The regulator screws are tapped into a relatively soft aluminium heatsink.
